thanks

Thanks

In the midst of darksome night

There's a brilliant glow of east twilight

A single ray you shine far and wide

Trying your best to give the world a brand new light


You've shared with us everything you know

Taught us about the world that's going to unfold

You told us that it'll forever be only a vision

If we ourselves don't uphold our own convictions


We've learned that true happiness comes

When material and Divine civilization are one

Both will fall if without the other

The only way is to progress together


You have taught us where true beauty lies

In an idea, a theory, one's character, even in a child's eyes

If one's outer eye is so accustom to ugliness

The inner eye can't fully serve its purpose


We've realized that there's only one reality and one truth

And that we fragment them into different groups

Man has been created noble by God

Why do we choose the path to rot?


The nobility of human being can only be

Expressed through a life of service

One should be the source of joy to others

And know that all of us is a leader


You've shown us that learning is never ending

And humility serves as a base for a true posture of learning

The more we learn the less we know

Be like a tree, the more fruits abound

The closer it bows to the ground


Faced with the disastrous effect of social disintegration

We've come to realize the importance of transformation

We should lay the foundations of a world civilization

The fairest fruit of thousands of years of social evolution


You've lead us on a discourse on social action

And gave each one of us a special mission

Mere words can't really express our thanks

To thee, a guide, a special friend!
